Mybe it can play against Griner and may the best man win. I have wondered about Griner for some time. She doesn't look or sound like a girl. There was some question as to why she refused an offer to play on the olympic team. NO facts, just rumors.

The most disturbing part of that article is about how ESPN radio hosts made fun of her looks and called her "it". Are you serious?

What the naysayers do not know, she said, is that Ludwig is not the same player she was as a 24-year-old male. She has less muscle and height, because of female hormones she takes. And at her age, she has to work to keep up.

“Yeah, I hit with a little more punch down low, but that’s because I weigh 220 pounds, but I am not the only 220 woman out there,” she said. “It’s different now. My body has changed, my strength has changed, my attitude has changed.”

Let's not act like she has some massive physical advantage from formerly being a man. She's also 50 and playing a bunch of 18-20 year olds. I think that levels things out a bit.

I'll say yes, but only because s/he's post op and on hormones. She'd be at a physical disadvantage to men, and I think by the time you go through all of that therapy the advantage from previously being a man is negligible, plus, it's women's sports, and as long as they aren't a big money maker this is relatively trivial.
